That would have to be a light bomb, with the Cub's low useful load!

Depends on the version. The later "Super Cubs" have a pretty good load capacity. However, all of them are made for two persons, so with a pilot only, the bomb could weigh as much as a person. That could hurt.

Actually, general aviation has been restricted for 20 or more years. Back when I was flying a Cessna 140, they started the "upside-down wedding cake" no-fly zones around a large percentage of airports in the US. I had to start going WAY out of my way to avoid flying illegally.

A cessna 182 has a useful load of 1200 lbs, fairly typical for many GA aircraft. I would think that about 1/2 ton of semtex or c4 would make a significant bang.

Not for a chemical or biological weapon.
